7 Acts Of Kindness To Remind You That The World Isn't So Bad After All
"No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted." - Aesop
Every time I turn on the news channel, there's nothing but bad news and negativity. The 6'oclock news is something I actively avoid, and this is because it doesn't reflect humanity the way that I see it every day. Every day I witness acts of kindness by the people I encounter: somebody complimenting somebody else's shirt, holding the door for someone, buying a meal for someone, sending notes to someone who was absent, and more. That is why I put together this list of good people doing good things all around the world. And next time you're reading the news, keep these stories in mind and remember, the world is not so bad after all.
